Answer to Question 1

As a third grader, Jenny might have difficulty imagining what her house looks like from a perspective she's never taken

Answer to Question 2

Following are examples of strategies consistent with a cognitive perspective of motivation:
 Ask students to set and strive to meet particular goals for their achievement each week.
 Incorporate students' personal interests into classroom activities.
 Create disequilibrium by presenting puzzling events that contradict students' existing beliefs and expectations.
 Focus students' attention on their improvements over time, and help them understand that they themselves are responsible for such improvements.
